Haas is a team with zero perspective. Very much a dead end for any driver career.

Agreed, which is high praise for Piastri. Outdriving veterans like Checo and Sainz.

Tsunoda managing to score a point here is exactly what he needs to show, even if it required Sainz and Piastri retiring.

Yeah. For some reason people keep pointing out how much better of a driver Max is, and at the same time act disappointed when Check finishes behind.

Why, in this case, after he finally had a good race with an appropriate result, is he a joke?

Not really. This usually happens after new regulations. Some teams get it right, most teams get ut wrong. They have absolutely nailed their car last season and are comfortably riding the wave while everyone else plays catch-up. Combine that with a generational talent like Verstappen that oozes racing and you have absolute domination.

Jesus fucking Christ did Piastri dodge a bullet

Yeah, if we're just going by the last two or three races one might even say that McLaren has the best driver pairing after Mercedes! Before that it's hard to judge because the car was such a dog. Super impressed by Piastri.

This stuff keeps baffling me even after 20+ years of watching F1. Half a second in this sport is an eternity, when in reality it's so fast you could miss it. The margins they are fighting over are so ridiculously small.

That's like saying playing video games for 10 hours every day isn't a sign of addiction because it devalues the gaming hobby.

Social Media addiction is a real thing. Every single popular social media app is designed to draw people in and keep them using it. The "drag down to refresh" is literally copied from slot machines.

As another Checo fan, these last races haven't been fun :D

?

It does. But while in English you could easily say something like "you son of a bitch, you did it" to a friend, you wouldn't do the same with Hurensohn in German as this would offend most people.

Should be noted that Hurensohn in German is a lot harsher than son of a bitch in English

There are some teams that are still taking notes

I think they purely exist because Geene Haas likes to see his company's logo driven around the circuits. He has zero ambition to achieve anything in F1. If there's one team that's blocking the spot of a better, more committed entry, it's Haas.

Is it just me no longer getting my F1 news from Reddit or has De Vries simply disappeared?

"I think it's very easy to convince people they are wrong."

"Actually, here's all these studies that prove that the opposite is-"

"Well I don't believe that."

That's why I said somehow :D But stranger things have happened in F1.
